Thank you very much!  That shot most certainly answers my question about sharpness!  I just ordered one.  It will be here on Friday.  Examples to follow.  . . .

Advertisement Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Hi burkey, Take a look here Sigma 45mm. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Archiver Posted August 15, 2019 Share #42 Â Posted August 15, 2019 Yeah, this looks great. I hope Sigma continue with this style and type of lens. It's got a slightly Zeiss ZM sense of visual design without being a copy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfunnell Posted August 15, 2019 Share #43  Posted August 15, 2019 (edited) Picked up the Sigma 45 today and have shot a few images with the Leica SL this afternoon. Initial impressions are that it certainly is a nice lens to use and the images are impressive.

burkey Posted August 15, 2019 Share #44  Posted August 15, 2019 (edited) My Sigma 45mm F2.8 arrived around noon today.  An attractive lens and so far, an excellent performer.  Here are a some early grab shots with the CL, (I drove my wife a bit crazy), and also a 2:1 screen shot out of Lightroom.  All from DNG files with only light processing in Lightroom.  Plenty of sharpness seen so far. 'Hope these early shots help folks out.  Good luck. . . .

jankojanko Posted August 20, 2019 Share #59  Posted August 20, 2019 Leica SL & Sigma 45mm is very compact and light in weight. It feels like using a m-lens but with auto focus. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frickenet Posted August 27, 2019 Share #60 Â Posted August 27, 2019 I got my lens today. I am a little disappointed. I bought this lens mainly for the upcoming Sigma fp. I thought I could use the lens on my TL2 until the Sigma fp will be available. On my TL2, the aperture ring and the AF/MF switch does not work. And I also think in near distance the lens is on my TL2 not sharp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
